The comment above my diff states that "In case this is a softraid device, make sure all underlying device nodes exist before installing boot-blocks on disk."
Without the double quotes, make_dev would not initialize my second disk on my softraid volume, only the first disk. And once it reached the installboot function, it would say that "/dev/rwd1c" did not exist. The reason is that, without the double quotes, we get a multi-line result from the $(bioctl|sed) command and only the first line is actually passed to the make_dev function. When we place it inside the double quotes, the multi-line result becomes a single line, and thus make_dev works as expected. ROOTDISK in my case was sd0, the first disk was wd0 and the second one was wd1. sd0 is an encrypted softraid device where wd0a is the RAID partition and wd1 is the keydisk. P.S.: It was not necessarily the keydisk that was uninitialized, but rather the second disk that resulted from the bioctl command on the softraid volume.
